14 Mass on a spring and other systems described by linear ODE

... Eventually, all the units in the model must agree. For the metric system the units are newtons (N ) for the force, kilograms (kg) for mass, meters (m) for length and s seconds for time, therefore the speed is given by m/s, the acceleration is m/s2 , the spring constant has units N/m, and the damping ...

... This expression looks very similar to our final expression Equ. 2.37. However, it is not very useful since it would not converge (not at all, or extremely slowly). The reason is, we did not make use of any knowledge we in general have about the system. It is a non-perturbative expansion. In general ...

... Suppose we reconsider the previous example with r 0 = 0. Rather than P just experiencing a force due to (uniform) gravity, let’s include an additional force that is a (very simplified!) model of ‘air resistance’. To model this resistance force we will assume that it is linearly proportional to the p ...

... In this Letter, we set out to find a bulk dual of nonrelativistic CFTs, analogous to the AdS gravity description of relativistic CFTs, at strong coupling. We approach this question by considering the algebra of generators of the nonrelativistic conformal group, which appears in Ref. [5] (related wor ...

... For a given potential energy function C is a fixed constant.

Thus for T sufficiently small we have that the second variation is positive and x(t) d ...

Wave packet



In physics, a wave packet (or wave train) is a short ""burst"" or ""envelope"" of localized wave action that travels as a unit. A wave packet can be analyzed into, or can be synthesized from, an infinite set of component sinusoidal waves of different wavenumbers, with phases and amplitudes such that they interfere constructively only over a small region of space, and destructively elsewhere. Each component wave function, and hence the wave packet, are solutions of a wave equation. Depending on the wave equation, the wave packet's profile may remain constant (no dispersion, see figure) or it may change (dispersion) while propagating.Quantum mechanics ascribes a special significance to the wave packet; it is interpreted as a probability amplitude, its norm squared describing the probability density that a particle or particles in a particular state will be measured to have a given position or momentum. The wave equation is in this case the Schrödinger equation. It is possible to deduce the time evolution of a quantum mechanical system, similar to the process of the Hamiltonian formalism in classical mechanics. The dispersive character of solutions of the Schrödinger equation has played an important role in rejecting Schrödinger's original interpretation, and accepting the Born rule.In the coordinate representation of the wave (such as the Cartesian coordinate system), the position of the physical object's localized probability is specified by the position of the packet solution. Moreover, the narrower the spatial wave packet, and therefore the better localized the position of the wave packet, the larger the spread in the momentum of the wave. This trade-off between spread in position and spread in momentum is a characteristic feature of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle,and will be illustrated below.
